Podchat 12 | Wolf Conservation Ethics, Caribou and the Wolf Cull with Chelsea Greer

Nerdy About Nature

Chelsea Greer is the Wolf Conservation Program Director at Raincoast Conservation, and we sat down one Autumn morning in the woods to chat all about wolves! In this conversation, we delve into the concept of conservation ethics, different monitoring approaches, population dynamics, and their relationship with endangered mountain Caribou, as well as the history of wolves in Western Culture and how outdated misconceptions has lead to controversial Wolf culls throughout BC and beyond.

The takeaway - the big bad wolf you were taught to fear growing up was a flat-out lie. They're actually a lot nicer, kinder and cooler than how they're commonly portrayed, and their future may depend on us learning how to see them differently.
